Ditching toxic chemicals is very important when it comes to thyroid health.
The prevalence of thyroid disease has skyrocketed within the past few decades. Why could that be? Many reasons but according to the American Thyroid Association, an estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease. This alarming trend begs the question—what is responsible for the epidemic of thyroid dysfunction? A growing body of research indicates that exposure to environmental toxins is a key piece of the thyroid disease puzzle.
I know, scary right?
The thyroid is particularly sensitive to toxins and chemicals as is the liver which regulated thyroid hormone conversion so by removing the toxins in your home, you are lessening the burden on BOTH.
Now, we can’t control what we are exposed to everywhere but we CAN control what we allow in our homes. YOU ARE THE GATEKEEPER.
It can seem like a daunting task to overhaul your entire home and think about removing all of the toxic products (cleaners, soaps, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, personal care products, candles, plastic, unfiltered water, etc…) SO I always recommend starting with the Thieves starter kit from Young Living for a number of reasons.
First of all, the products contain Thieves essential oil which is famous for it’s ability to clean, purify AND SUPPORT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. It also smells like Christmas (cinnamon, clove, rosemary and lemon). Young Living’s proprietary Thieves® essential oil blend was inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated and wore a special aromatic combination of clove, rosemary, vinegar, and other botanicals that they believed provided protection while they were stealing. French authorities recognized that there was such value in this mixture that upon the thieves’ capture, they received a more merciful punishment on condition that they divulge the ingredients in their secret formula. Crafted in the spirit of that legendary combination, Young Living’s one-of-a-kind Thieves essential oil blend can be found in all our Thieves products. Featuring Clove oil, Cinnamon Bark oil, Eucalyptus Radiata oil, Rosemary oil and Lemon oil. Thieves imparts a spicy, welcoming aroma everywhere it’s used.
With the benefits of Thieves oil, including cleaning power and an irresistibly spicy scent, Young Living offers it as an essential oil blend and as an important ingredient in a full range of home cleaning and personal care products, from dish soap to toothpaste. Possibly our most versatile and beloved blend, Thieves products replace harsh chemicals with pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils and other naturally derived ingredients.
Other reasons:
This kit gives you a giant head start on ridding your home of toxins. You’ll be eliminating some of the biggest offenders in your home (household cleaner, toothpaste, hand soap, hand sanitizer) in one fell swoop.
It gives you discounted pricing on all future Young Living orders (you’ll pay 24% less than retail) because you’ll also wanna get the Thieves laundry detergent, Thieves dish washing soap, Thieves toothpaste/floss (toothpaste and floss contain fluoride which is a HUGE thyroid offender) and not to mention the essential oil to replace candles, room fresheners, perfume, etc…
It saves you money. These products are highly concentrated. One bottle of Thieves cleaner makes 32 bottles diluted and lasts me for 6-9 months with daily usage. And yes, it cleans just as well as the toxic stuff. So you’ll not need any household cleaners for a year once you get this kit.
